No, by "exceeded LuaJIT's memory limits" I mean at some point my
program started failing with an "out of memory" error.  I just
switched to using standard Lua and it worked fine.

I think the issue is with how LuaJIT represents pointers, and so it
can't be worked around just by switching allocators.

Anyway, all I'm trying to say is that it is possible for a program to
run into this limit, which might otherwise work fine (and that the GC
issues Mike mentioned aren't necessarily a limiting factor).
